This Life Cambodia is a community development organization with programs focused in three practice areas:
• Children and Families
• Education
• Community Research and Consultancy
We typically work with communities who have the greatest challenges yet the desire and the drive to enact change. What they need are the tools, training, skills and initial support to tackle their community’s specific development issues. Our approach enables communities to develop the essential infrastructure and skills needed to make change and break free from poverty. The unifying factor in everything we do is to work alongside communities listening to their needs and concerns. We advocate alongside children, families and community stakeholders as they define and implement their own solutions. Our programs have evolved organically, based on our experience in service delivery, and on the needs communities identify through our consultative processes. As a result many of our programs are interlinked. We have entry and exit strategies for all of our work so that over time our involvement decreases as capacity and skills increase within communities. TLC is an award winning well-respected community development NGO with seven programs in four provinces (Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, Oddar Meanchey, Banteay Meanchey). We are registered in Cambodia as an International NGO, as a Public Benevolent Institution in Australia, and we are Governance and Professional Practice (GPP) certified by the Cooperation Committee for Cambodia (CCC) Local communities are the experts at identifying their problems and priorities. They often have great ideas and what they need are the ways and means to take ownership of resolving their greatest challenges.
